Throughout 2023 she gave herself the pleasure of showing such different facets of her potential as an actress that it is not difficult to understand why 2024 will be even much better for her. She has just released a romantic comedy, Cualquiera menos tú, distributed by Sony Pictures and made by her production company, Fifty-Fifty Films, in which she shares duties with her fiance, businessman Jonathan Davino. In March, he presented in Austin at the increasingly important SXSW festival an independent film, Americana, in which he shares the poster with the ascendant Paul Walter Hauser, which for now does not have a release date. In addition, last year she was seen in a Rolling Stone video as the sexy girl who walks around Los Angeles looking at posters of the legendary band and also starred in the HBO film Reality, in which she played a shy employee of an intelligence service who is accused by the FBI of having been responsible for having leaked classified documents.
Her name is Sydney Sweeney, she is 26 years old, she was born in Spokane, in the state of Washington, and grew up in Idaho, in a family where no one has ever had anything to do with acting. And yet, everything seems to indicate that she is very well on her way to becoming one of the most important stars in Hollywood of her generation, particularly when Marvel's new blockbuster, Madame Web, hits theaters in February.
Sweeney is obviously no stranger, as she has been consistently climbing the ladder of fame. The general public discovered her in 2019 in the first season of the series Euphoria, embodying one of the main characters, Cassie Howard, to which she will return with the rest of the cast when the third debuts, sometime in 2025. Already then Sydney he had left his mark in other series, such as Todo es una mierda, broadcast by Netflix in 2018, El cuento de la criada, where he participated in seven episodes that same year playing Eden Spencer and Heridas abiertas, with Amy Adams.
The daughter of a criminal lawyer who decided to give up her career when her children were born and an expert in the medical field, the future star grew up as an exceptional student in a house by a lake that it belonged to his family for five generations. After appearing as an extra in an independent film as a child, she became so obsessed with acting that, after convincing her parents, she began auditioning for commercials in Seattle and Portland, with successful enough for the whole family to move to Los Angeles when he was 14 years old.
Once there, nothing and no one stopped her. She landed guest-starring roles in major series, and worked non-stop until she landed her first regular role in 2017 in the series In the Vault. The truth is that Sweeney, who in 2022 earned a double Emmy nomination for his work in The White Lotus and Euphoria, may change categories when Madame Web is released, because although the title character is in charge Dakota Johnson's Sydney Sweeney's Julia Carpenter becomes Spiderwoman in the comics. If the film turns into a super success, it is possible that Sony and Marvel decide to up the ante and make the actress the successor of Tom Holland and Tobey Maguire.
2024 will also be the year Immaculate , a horror film shot in Rome and also produced by the actress's company, in which Sweeney works with our Álvaro Morte, will be released, as well as Echo Valley , a thriller in which he plays Julianne Moore's daughter. In a lengthy article published in Variety magazine, the Oscar winner for Siempre Alicia revealed that Sweeney reminded her of herself when she was in her twenties: “I was very intense with my work at that age, and so was she. it is. I think Sydney is much more comfortable with herself than I was at that age. She is someone who is not only interested in being a star, but also an actress." As if all this were not enough, the star of the moment, who will also be one of the protagonists of the new film of Ron Howard, Eden, alongside Vanessa Kirby and Ana de Armas, is also linked to a remake of Barbarella in which he would play the role played by Jane Fonda in 1968 and which for various reasons did not quite come true.
